LW Blue isn't that good at KR
panthera why
Dam Son
man if rascal stayed with soldier
could've cleaned up after that shatter
but i guess bastion broke shield
wakawaka getting picked right before last fight was shitty too
mfw lw blue is selfless
if only flower was soldier
3-0 or reverse sweep again?
hopefully
GG LW
Hanamura isn't in the map pool

Nah, they already pulled their C9 the last time they played Panthera
something something taimou
hey pretty good
he definitely has good aim
i enjoy watching his stream
because he plays on the korean server
and him interacting with korean players is fun
Taimou is fun to watch, seems to be a good sport
not looking good 😦
goddammit evermore
lmao
lol
dude held the point by himself
2cp tho
I'm rooting for lw, but I'm gonna be so salty if lw stalls
What is it with teams and suddenly losing the ability to defend in OT
True
OT benefits the attackers because defenders have longer respawn times
yep
I will say this again, if you're in an invuln state, you shouldn't be able to contest the objective
which is why it makes more sense to engage right when ot begins
Panthera 
Being in an invuln state should mean you can't contest or contribute to taking an objective
That would make the game more bearable in general, imo
widow on point b
kd doin it
not beastmode enough
kinda sad that koreans never teabag
wtf
The delay is all the BM they need
could be because korean server chat/voice is filled with shit talk
ahhh
i've never felt more sorry to my mom
I mostly meant in eSports though since I have no exposure to korean ranked apart from a few streamams
than i do when playing on korean server
and I don't speak korean :/
this is still old patch with fun 2CP rules right?
yee
oh hey, this feels like an incoming draw
yay
I love 2cp
actually
I sense a map loss
this makes the king's road loss even worse
TIME FOR THE REVERSE SWEEP BOYS
should have waited with that engage tbh
lul
can their jokes get any more awkward
LWB didn't get a single kill lol
lw trying to be cheeky
i like their casting, honestly
tides are turning!!!
the snowball
things are looking up
lw throwing again
this is a throw if I've ever seen one
kek
Oh man missed KD winning 😦
I'm ready for KDP to push the whole way in OT
Called it
waka destoys nice ult
playing vs NA teams
causes you to adopt NA habits
like NA aim
and NA ults
well, misfits was still EU back then
Crazy good game
it's all really close, but atm it looks like lw has the edge
well, rip rascal
also, is there any hero Nanohana doesn't play?
fucking tviq 2.0
Reinhardt?
"LW went for a weird defense, let's do the same"
I'm prepared for the full hold xd
Well, Sae's popping off
lmao
sae always there to carry his team when nanohana is being mediocre
lol that hook
oh snap
wtf
I realise teams that have two carry dps players do best
both gravs
Which in hindsight is obvious
sae one man team
they fucked up both gravs
he is def playing a better hog than evermore today
omg stop getting hooked you noobs
rascal on hog?
evermore on zarya?
wakawaka on cree?
lmao, fucking ults making weird ass picks happen
mrw you try to outcree Nanohana 
kek
Wakwaka ain't no Taimou or aKm or Surefour
vs 1 minute
another pointless deadeye
lol
fucking kd got cucked
bm ults
Janus
kek
LOL
mei is a pharah counter, didn't you know
Cant wait for the new DC arena to have tourneys like this
LW Blue pls
Oh thank god
kd panthera did much better than last season :/
well, let's go Meta Athena
GG Kongdoo
So you have the obvious picks for the semis in LW Blue and Lunatic-Hai
And the wildcards
RunAway vs LW Blue and MA vs Lunatic-Hai
My pic is RunAway
i think finals will be Meta vs Runaway
I want the Royal Roader dream for MA
Agreed Cixel MA vs RunAway finals. Hope it happens its gonna be fun to watch if it does
👋
Bye!

I keep missing events! We have anothe rone coming up in a few hours?
Or did I literally just miss one?
there was one just now
Bah. How many hours ago did it start?
Idk I only caught the end
Alright. Sounds like the next one is Friday-ish?
Semis for APEX begin on Friday
2nd last day of group matches for the OCS are tomorrow as well, in about 12 hours
this is what happens when people keep whining about esports related announcements
lol
11 hours is hockey time, though. :(
Also, that's like 8am, so both will probably lose to sleep anyway.
lol, good luck
owl announcement
scared away any people who'd potentially make a tournament
Yeah
we had 4 majors in the second half of 2016
it was looking good, then blizzard just had to kill all of ow's momentum and the EU scene
!ban
the fuck is up with this stupid shit
so many fuckos coming her lately
#1 That's a link to a download file
lol
I wanted to get a free virus 😢
I got it for you if you want it
Seagull's brother?
Hmm?
His IGN is Virus
Oh
Seb's visa to move to US is finally ready
Noice
now we only need iddqd
Idd is leaving in like 4 weeks
Sweet
sweet
hopefully they'll feel ready next month
I wanna see those fucks play again
especially IDDQD and Seagull
Aww yeah! 😄
Spicy
And Tviq's tweet https://twitter.com/MisfitsTviQuE/status/844216578161987586 
Lmao
lol
And yes, probably a waste of time. Scheduling a bunch of stomps where you can barely practice because you're flat out outclassed seems pointless
when has a team ever declined a scrim because they were scared
yeah it's most likely banter on both sides
I do love some esports banter
That's why I love those videos at the beginning of APEX matches
Hafficool also tried to bring in banter
We saw how that backfired, lul
taimou bants
Holy fuck TviQ with that roast
Maybe Fnatic just told him to shut the fuck up, lol
That escalated waaaay further than it should because he kept answering
Rip that fuckin savage
Wait holy shit
They did it again
Pushed everything to live
Though fortunately there's nothing this time that was as extreme as friggin uncapped Ironclad
lucio is not live 

Carbon is in a little over 3 hours
Hai
hello
I'm here for the esports 
she will most likely be banned
Worth watching?
Id watch the Rogue Selfless games at least
Selfless beat LG Evil and ended up second didn't they
yeah
hmmm are they really?
Well I guess
I feel like it just confirmed what a lot of people thought anyway
Selfless beating everyone but rogue
also, they lost a round because emong's mouse is a meme
Wait
Did they face each other twice?
I do that too I cant hate
Dudes a dick though so
Polo pls
He's cool tho xD
In 1h 30min I will stream an AMA session just before I leave for the airport. Come ask me questions about anything!
I think they will
I don't feel like any team is ready to use her though.
I don't care if it's a dying meme, tbh this would have been best served on saturday but you can't control me!
https://i.imgur.com/tEOoA1J.png
hey is kd vs lw blue worth watching?
I really hope to god that they dont ban orisa today
Junkrat is gonna be better too
Orisa not banned 
doubt anyone will get her
That lucio poster is actually fucking beautiful.
Ok why does spree not soldier more lmao.
Those dumb casters
didn't really see
LIVE: Team Liquid vs LG Loyal / compLexity vs Renegades | Overwatch Carbon Series Week 5 - Clipped by polo__bear
damn that sleep
Lol that was so funny and awkward
Omg that was so funny
Ube just standing and waiting for them to attack was gold
Finally catching a game and SHADDER
that was a fun round
Winston might get an even higher pickrate than Zarya this patch
The last few days I've seen him around so much
also if Liquid wants any chance of getting to play offs they HAVE to win
Liquad are dominating nepal
I will never feel bad missing the translocator throw ever again
I was right in thinking that shit has a weird arc
Rip LGLOYLUL
I hope lg wins
I always cheer for the losers so the match can continue
Lol shadder is so funny
I just enjoy shadder's personality
Wait isn't Liquid out now?
i like seagull
They will have to win tmw against lg evil
even though he can't shoot people walking in straight lines
Lul
but RNG is still above them
Technically they're not out, they're just in the Losers' bracket now
"I'm really good at this game - misses easy shots-"
I literally cant wait for NRG
-Seagull 2017
What does Liquid need to advance?
To win tmw
To beat Evil
Against evil
Oh wait
Luuuul
There's still a match tomorrow
coL needs to lose both their matches and Liquid needs to beat LGE
I hope LG throws
coL's last games are against RNG and IMT so they could lose both
But Liquid losing to LGE is very unlikely
RNG PLEASE
In addition to the base prize money, teams will also receive $300 USD for each Bo5 (win or lose) during the regular season (until playoffs).
Oh damn
That's pretty deluxe
Yeah, every team makes an extra $3k for competing
Probably why the prizepool is low
They are encouraging throwing?
does anyone know who Reach is?
classic coL
COME ON RNG
don worry, coL will throw by the 3rd or 2nd game
Nicholas carrying so hard
holy shit mang
rip Orisa
orisa throwing
oh ok
Also, Reach seems to be a good addition to the coL roster
orisa feeds a lot like hog
Nesh is on Laser Kittenz
Oh. He played somewhere else for a bit so I wondered.
I only got to the tournament.

Misfits too afraid to scrim us


Misfits would dominate them
smh
rip
Did RNG just give them the point on purpose?
Hafficool's in the chat lul
I hope they pick him up so in the article when they announce him they tell me who he is
lul
Juv3 isn't used to Reinhardt
It was a joke implying that Juv3 is bad at Reinhardt

quad tank lul
oh and hes probably talking about Liquid getting officially eliminated
ah right
?
Well yeah Ik but why post the picture
Clarification
gg
Also, Reach only has 3 days playing competitively, apparently
This fucking thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/60pnny/opinion_cloud9_will_replace_gods_with_talespin/ 
Takespin 76 
If aKm is a good Pharah then Surefour is literally the God of all Pharahs, lul. He used to be c9's Pharah back in the day and wS hekking good
?
Nice find Sojum
since when sojum turns into a weeb?
I've always been a stealth weeb
lmao
Hey their cool names

When do they start @rapid oxide
24+ hours
"debut"
I know you fuck
you man comeback after pussying out because of nerves
I've been watching longer than you, I know he was on Graviton Surge
lul, I know that you know
he left because school
then got bored of school
got called up by the alicius guy
"hell yeah lets go"
Can't wait for Misfits to 3-0 Laser Kittenz
Gonna be a long wait lul

THE FACE OF FEAR
http://i.imgur.com/CGtxEVg.png
Eh he was 17 when he "retired" he might be 18 now idk
guys, it's fucking on
Even TISrobin the Korean expert misspelled Saebyeolbe
(Yeah, see there's no "(edited)" there? I'm such a pro, and this is using Android)
You mean Saybowlbe, as the APEX announcer calls him?
Lul
Wait fuck Saebyeolbe looks way younger in that article lol
Like smoother face n shit
hi
Hoy
Huh
hue
GooOoOooOod morning everyone! I just posted the Meta Report for what's unfortunately now one patch behind the current one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/60v81q/overwatch_hero_meta_report_a_tale_of_two_team/
Because it was a different patch, I mostly focused on Rogue and Selfless' team comps since I don't think they're going to change those up very much, and because they're doing some really interesting things with strategy. I think you'll enjoy it! Let me know what you think either by @ ing me here, or leaving a comment 😮
Hey Reddit, CaptainPlanet here! I sometimes write about Overwatch. Here's some pre-report housekeeping...
@frank frigate on the podcast will you be talking about the changes on ptr and orisa at all?
Given that we're having a Lucio player on, it'll be hard to not talk about Lucio! Orisa we've talked a lot about on previous podcasts but since she's live I'm sure she'll come up again @wanton bronze
mappool for our pit games Hanamura
Numbani
Nepal
Hollywood
Voskaya Industries
5maps
2x 2cp
why
🤔
WohoHohOHAOHoaho
Definitely not the same maps we've been seeing the past month in Carbon and AMM
yay
Fixed map pools will bring diversity, don't you know?
I still can't wrap my head around why they think that this is a good decision

0.0
Woot more tournaments.
shouldn't fixed map pools help pro players?
since you have less maps to train on
and less combinations to consider
more focused scrims
I guess so, I was speaking more on a spectator point of view. That will just make awful gameplay during international tournaments since APEX is more varied in their maps. We would have games on each side with teams doing awful.
That's not fun to watch,
It says "Nate Nanzer proposes", so i don't think its final
Yeah but that means EU could be possible already included in OWL
Or it's just to fill some eu and asia names to explain how global owl will be
Dunno about a team from paris
Also check the sentence at the bottom
Note: illustrative cities
they are just examples then
There's gonna be a lot of orgs gunning for the LA Slot

Between 2 and 15 million dollaroos
If this is people making assumptions, Blizzard's damage control squad need to act now
Absolutely
especially since they handed over the league rights in china to the guys who did apac iirc
there's no way that china would only have 1 team
when they literally do something like that
I will just act like i didn't see that tweet until something official comes out
Nothing to see here guys. A slide I made for the audience here to illustrate the vision. The word "illustrative" is in the bottom corner... https://t.co/8pZAtFzka7
There you go, thank god
lul, thank god for being fast blizzard
blizz has done a lot of stupid shit, but this would be on another level of stupid
should probably have made "ILLUSTRATION" bigger
I bet that he mentioned that it's an illustration
but people either didn't listen/saw the picture and didn't give enough of a shit to find the context
blizzard would totally only have one team for china after that

people hear/see what they want to hear/see
What does
man, whenever the camera was on kresnik vs rogue

playing reinhardt into that comp
seems like the most frustrating shit ever
@balmy wolf I feel a OWL LAN being on the west coast kind of deal a la LCS worries me a bit. I do get having less cities in the East of the Ocean since it's another government but I was hoping for at least 5 in EU and Asia :/
Yeah but
I do know it's illustrative and not a final say, but ya.
Thats just an illustration
Ninja'ed baby
Not at all final say
Inb4 everyone will move back to EU because no owl
Lol
Carbon VODs are an absolute mess
What?
Oh ranked
haha
@pseudo sail I'm dumb but is it "bloodthirstiest" or "most bloodthirsty"? @.@
Most bloodthirsty would be correct
Carbon's on
Overtalk for 15m~ then Liquid vs Evil
NA hours haHAA
Semi finals then finals?
wha
This is still the group stage
The Semis and Grand Final aren't for a few weeks yet
But yes, Liquid vs Evil and then coL vs IMT
I thought murder was illegal.
Tf?
Classic NA production
They didnt get 3rd?
Woah
yeah sad
Dahang was insane
always is tho
What the hell
Thats old

no u r
the NA scene is gonna be sick soon
Jake Train duet can give much more pressure than when Jake has to solo dps
It already is sick tbh
Why are evil so inconsistent
Voll's Zarya is pretty nice.
Voll carried their asses
But liquid did play VERY well
Their ana shut down a very crucial nanovisor
Anubis 
ID doing work.
when can we expect games with Orisa allowed?
Also holy shit Liquid took 1st really fast
not sure what her role/niche really is, but her kit is solid
Holy fuck
LIVE: Team Liquid vs LG Evil / compLexity vs Immortals | Overwatch Carbon Series Week 5 - Clipped by polo__bear
I mean
If these matches use competitive format in the server creator, Orisa probably still falls into the restriction
If I was Evil, I would just throw to give Liquid the spot in the Playoffs
Lg evil are getting stomped
Because Evil is already guaranteed in the Playoffs
She isnt banned in customs @clever wagon
Huh
Im assuming he just didnt read the whole post
Just read she was banned from competitive and assumed that meant custom comp too
lul
Vol has been getting really good Gravs
Can I post pics In here?
It has to do with OwL
Then yes
It won't let me though
host it on imgur
Im trying to make a concept UI design for an OwL app. Not sure what a good name could be.
What would it be for
ExxuApp
like, following your fav teams, player stats, OwL news, highlights, all of it
idk, still planning, think of it as something created by blizz.
Liquid over double the time Evil have

LIVE: Team Liquid vs LG Evil / compLexity vs Immortals | Overwatch Carbon Series Week 5 - Clipped by polo__bear
First they roll Loyal and now Evil
RIP LG
all hail our new liquid overlords
3-0 inc
They capped 1st with 1:50 left
jfc
Evil have to just be throwing because they are already in the playoffs
This is crazy
is it me or are teams getting lazy/conservative with hero picks
the meta might not be the most balanced ever, but there's no way out of 24 heroes both teams pick from a pool of 10 even when they're not doing work
Teams always had their go to picks though.
It's just that right now certain heroes work the best. That and people main them.
Genji is highly mained by DPS in teams.
Soldier is just super strong.
Rein is Rein.
soldier genji and tracer are super popular
^
All metas so far in OW have been 10~ viable heroes or less
And they're good.
With off meta picks working sometimes
I want to make a team that only goes off meta. Who's in
One of them is sombra
@balmy wolf well at the moment its apparently 14 heroes that are "viable" if you follow captain planets reports
and widow is like borderline out of the lowest tier
more like "played" than viable
I'd say the heroes in Tier 4 are more off meta picks picked often
I predict in the future, regardless of nerfs and buffs, the meta will become much more varied
it happens in sports too
Or just a hero run by a team or two a lot of the time
lots of unexplored possibilities, the game is still young
torb and sym are are still good out of the tier 5 heroes
the important thing is not falling into the fallacy of believing that what's currently run by the best team is the best option possible
is carbon series on the live patch? or is it rolled back like apex?
Live
sick
Whoa
That self destruct into grav
Obviously because of how dominant Rogue is
Their comp is best

Not nanoblade


LETS GO
O SHIT
ORISAA
chat dying

inb4 Evil reverse sweeps with Jake on Orisa every map
Also just realised
Evil forced into quad tank

rapha switching to liquid's support player is such a good choice imho
keep nanoing winston

LIVE: Team Liquid vs LG Evil / compLexity vs Immortals | Overwatch Carbon Series Week 5 - Clipped by polo__bear

and people want tracer ult buffing
and people call me crazy for saying flanking plays are good against deathballs
ggez
Lg evil got rekt
How's LGE
They lost
IMT 3-0
How did Reach look?
wait, there won't be losers bracket?
Week 5 (final week!) of the Carbon Series Group Stage:
LG Loyal 2 - 3 Immortals
Renegades 1 - 3 LG Evil
Liquid 3 - 1 LG Loyal
compLexity 3 - 1 Renegades
Liquid 3 - 0 LG Evil
compLexity 0 - 3 Immortals
With the end of the group stage, the teams in the playoffs (25th March) are:
Immortals vs. compLexity
LG Evil vs. Renegades
No there wont @wintry matrix
Liquidpedia lied to us
"zarya's look better the worse their team is doing" ZP dropping some gems. As a zarya-main i completely agree
Huh, LGE lost?
First loss of the tournament?
Yep
Also, orisa?
tbh the orisa pick makes me believe that they were experimenting a bit. They went 4-0 or something, should already have a guaranteed spot
Jake used Orisa on Nepal
For two stages
They did already have a guaranteed spot but they were running their usual comp for most of the series
Ahhh
So idk if it was a throw or not
I feel bad for Liquid though
Only if coL lost to RNG
Then they would be in playoffs

They got Shadder too late, lul
Azk improved so fuckin much
Picking him up and putting Rapha on Lucio was a great choice
They're only going to improve from here
Cant wait to see them play next
When does The Pit start damnit
Also recently Evil have been looking pretty sloppy
Losing 2 maps to RNG and Loyal
And now getting 3-0'd by the 2nd worst team in the tourney
Methinks they've hit a rough patch
mfw Minstrel going to the next big eSport, Stardew Valley was actually a good thing
IMT's kinda pulling it back
and then just started doing a lot worse
I have faith in IMT after that article
Pit EU should be starting in 11 hours or somethimg iirc
They were looking like a tier 1 team
Or at least top of tier 2
And then they kind of lost it in Carbon
But yeah you right draw
They have been improving
Someone said that IMT takes a while to adapt to a new meta, but when they do, they begin to steam roll
IMT always takes long to get really good
Saw that in triple/quad tank where they bombed C9
Like, every time a new patch hits
Yeah, when triple/quad tank stuck around for a while, they were pretty unstoppable
They also weren't dominating NA until the end of World of Tanks
Oh, you just said that
kek
When do the NA games start, I can't watch the EU ones @balmy wolf 
rip
The EU games start at literally like 4am for me
kek
Point is, both are terrible and would involve using magic on our schedules
